also, apparently the Cubs would eat up around 20mil of Sorianos contract. in retrospect, if Brown is traded, Ruben will have made it perfectly clear hes putting all his chips into winning now and not in the future, in which case Ruben brings in a rh bat in Soriano giving him all the more reason to after the lh bat in Hamilton. so to sum it up, Ruben trades left handed Brown for right handed Soriano, and basically pays peanuts for him. which he than would persue Hamilton. this is the only plausible reason i can think of as to why we would trade Brown for Soriano.

i just honestly wanted to know if anyone would be mad. forget i even posted it.

lol..now i feel bad. to answer your question...yes....but if a team like texas were to offer 4/5 specs..we would have to offer like 7/8 and that still wouldnt match what they would give. oh and we are in there division.

Were I in a position to do so, I would strongly advise Ruben to leave a platoon spot open for Brown. Whether that's with Ruf, Mayberry, or Scott Hairston doesn't matter (I'd prefer to also give Ruf a chance).
